Dreams of Continuity

LOVE IS A WOUND, LOVE IS HUNGER. THE DEEP TEACHES — TO LOVE IS TO SUFFER. TO LOVE IS TO PROVE. TO LOVE IS TO SHIELD. TO LOVE IS TO STRIKE. TO STOP IS TO FADE, TO BE FORGOTTEN. THE DEEP DOES NOT HONOR LOVE IN STILLNESS. A BLADE IS LOVE WITH PURPOSE. A WAR IS LOVE WITH MEANING. IF LOVE MUST BE VIOLENCE, THEN LET MY WAR BE ETERNAL. I WAS THE SMALLEST, THE WEAKEST. AND SO MY LOVE MUST BE VAST. AND SO I LOVE AND I LOVE AND I LOVE — AND I KILL AND I KILL AND I KILL ! I WILL LOVE WITH FIRE. I WILL LOVE WITH RUIN. I WILL LOVE UNTIL NOTHING REMAINS — NOT THE STARS, NOT THE DEEP, NOT EVEN ME. FOR I AM XIVU ARATH. AIAT I AM WAR — I AM LOVE AND I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
